Summary of <strong>Re</strong>sults:<br />
● An M0V star located only 1'' from <strong>WASP</strong>-12 has<br />
diluted past eclipse and transit analyses (by >1σ).<br />
● In a narrow band (2.315 µm), <strong>WASP</strong>-<strong>12b</strong>'s eclipse is<br />
marginally deeper: T B = 3600 ± 200 K.<br />
● <strong>WASP</strong>-<strong>12b</strong> has a nearly iso<strong>the</strong>rmal NIR<br />
photosphere, and its composition cannot be<br />
meaningfully constrained with present eclipse<br />
measurements.<br />
